* AwardSnub:** There ''will'' be uproars when people feels that a winner in a certain category didn't deserve it the most.** A more general complaint is that the Oscars rarely go to films which are technically innovative and artistically ambitious but rather are given to films which have sociopolitical sentimental and topical thrust.** There's even one openly acknowledged one, when Jack Warner prevented Bette Davis from being nominated for ''Of Human Bondage'' in 1934. Ever since, the law firm Price Waterhouse has overseen the voting process to prevent this kind of thing.* BrokenBase:** The reaction to Creator/SethMacFarlane's 2013 hosting gig doesn't even begin to describe this.** James Franco and Creator/AnneHathaway's 2011 ceremony hosting stint counts, as well.** The opening to the 1989 ceremony also.** The various {{Author Filibuster}}s throughout the years (Jane Fonda, Michael Moore, etc.) got mixed cheers and boos.** David Letterman's hosting gig in 1995 which ranged from either good to horrible.** Reactions to the times Chevy Chase hosted (or co-hosted, like in 1987) are incredibly mixed.** Some people felt disappointed about Creator/NeilPatrickHarris's 2015 hosting gig considering that he hosted several award shows particularly the Tonys' in which he even won an Emmy for it. Some still find his hosting okay but blame the ceremony's writers for the blandness of the script.* DudeNotFunny:** Creator/SethMacFarlane's gig as host got this reaction, from the song "We Saw Your Boobs" to {{Film/Ted}}'s jokes about the "Jews control Hollywood" stereotype to a joke about Rihanna going back to Music/ChrisBrown. ** His joke about John Wilkes Booth being the one who really got inside Lincoln's head.-->'''Seth:''' 150 years and it's still {{too soon}}.** When ''LifeOfPi'' won the Oscar for Best Visual Effects, the people stepped on the podium to mention Creator/RhythmAndHues going bankrupt. As they were getting into it, the ''{{Film/Jaws}}'' theme started to play (a RunningGag for when speeches ran too long) and the microphone was cut off, which caused a lot of ire in the visual effects industry.** When Creator/ChrisRock hosted the 2004 ceremony, he joked about JudeLaw being a low-rent TomCruise. Two hours later, SeanPenn made a defense that "Jude Law is one of our finest young actors".* HarsherInHindsight: A bunch of young and upcoming Hollywood actors performed the "I Wanna Be An Oscar Winner" at the 1989 ceremony. Sadly, none of them won an Oscar to this day. But few of them did have successful careers in TV and theater and won Emmys (Chad Lowe and Ricky Lake), a Grammy (Blair Underwood) and a Tony (Savion Glover).* HilariousInHindsight: At the 1988 ceremony, when Creator/SeanConnery won for Best Supporting Actor in ''Film/TheUntouchables'', one of the presenters was Creator/NicolasCage, who would star with him in ''Film/TheRock''.** RussellCrowe and DenzelWashington went up against each other twice in the Best Actor category, with Denzel actually ''beating'' Crowe in 2001 for ''TrainingDay'' in an upset (Crowe had been the frontrunner for ''ABeautifulMind''). Fittingly, Crowe and Washington had played enemies in films both before and after these ceremonies, in ''Virtuosity'' (where Denzel had to stop Crowe's antagonist), and later in ''AmericanGangster'' (with Crowe as the detective trying to bring in Denzel). * MemeticMutation:** Notable flubs tend to become memes due to the show's popularity, as JohnTravolta found out when he accidentally referred to IdinaMenzel as "Adele Dazeem".** Sally Field's acceptance for Best Actress in 1984 ("You like me. You really like me!") which is more of a BeamMeUpScotty.** Jokes about LeonardoDiCaprio [[AwardSnub not winning an Oscar]] would always appear during awards season. ** The 2015 Awards got one in the announcement of the nominees, with the cinematographer for ''Mr. Turner'' Dick Pope's name being mispronounced as "Dick Poop."* TearJerker:** Too many to count, but it is bound to happen every year given the highly heartwarming nature of the event.** Three words: ''IN. MEMORIAM.'' TRIBUTE. It doesn't it help that singers such as Queen Latifah, Esperanza Spalding, and Bette Midler have performed during or after the montage.** Judy Garland losing out the Best Actress prize to Grace Kelly in 1954. The media had portrayed as the former's ultimate comeback story, so her defeat was seen as particularly crushing.* WhatAnIdiot: You have to wonder why anyone thought it would be a good idea for Travolta, who is dyslexic to read a teleprompter, let alone a hard to pronounce name like Idina Menzel.
